Mindfulness-based Relational
Psychotherapy
A Transformative, Holistic Approach to Psychotherapy in London and online.
Are you searching for a sense of freedom and direction?
Do you want happier, more satisfying relationships?
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or burnout?
In therapy it's possible to turn towards what hurts and connect with a sense of safety, wellness and potential within. I offer a dynamic therapeutic relationship where we move through this process together.

My Approach
Mindfulness-based relational psychotherapy is informed by contemplative neuroscience, buddhist wisdom and the role of the nervous system in trauma and healing.
In this approach, clients experience a real, authentic and ultimately transformative therapeutic relationship where therapist and client journey together.
Rather than sit outside as an expert observer, the therapist is in the ring with you.
What does "Mindfulness-based" mean?
In mindfulness-based psychotherapy, you will be supported in our sessions to bring present moment awareness to your experience. This may be as simple as pausing as we talk about something to notice and name an emotion or physical sensation that is here in this moment for you and for us both. So while we will explore important past experiences and your fears and hopes for the future, we will also become curious about thoughts and feelings in the present moment.
By becoming more aware of our reactions to our experience - the ways we try to avoid what feels uncomfortable or unknown, and the patterns that take shape as a result - we gain greater choice in how we live and in the sort of relationships we have.
About Me
Emily Cole MSc, PGDip, MBPsS, UKCP Reg
I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist, having studied with the Karuna Institute and qualified in Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy. I am also registered with the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists. As a member of the UKCP and ACPP, I adhere to their code of ethics and receive clinical supervision.
I have a British Psychological Society recognised MSc in Psychology and experience in adult psychological services in the NHS as an assistant psychologist. I have also worked as a therapeutic practitioner with neurodivergent young people and their families for almost ten years. In my therapeutic work I draw from a breadth of experience and take a holistic and individualised approach.
As a therapist, I value the simple act of sitting down with my clients each week, connecting with them however they are in the moment. Over time, I get to witness them develop a truer, kinder relationship with themselves. It's incredibly rewarding to journey with someone as this inner change is reflected out into their life and relationships.
I offer sessions in London in Kensal Rise (NW10), Palmers Green (N13) and online.
